It would seem to Mr. Murray that, even though Springfield may not be interested in addressing the issues at present, which would restrain efforts somewhat, e "doing something is better than nothing". Mr. Keller questioned uses of potential federal funds, and Assistant Manager answered that money could provide fer one planner and/or possibly some legal research. Mrs. Shirey felt that, even with the problems, it would seem that.it would be easier to secure funds if the program is ongoing. Mayor Anderson commented that, even given the iimitations of lack of area-wide cooperation, he feels there is something Eugene can do alone in the area of controlled growth. If techniques and policies are devised, eventually those techniques should be satisfactory for others if they concur with the policies. He thinks the city could work through LCOG in an effort to get the policies adopted but that reconvening the task force is questionable, that staff has much more exposure to the matters to be addressed. The staff could present a series of proposals after which the Council could decide as a whole what would be most worthwhile pursuing. Mr. Keller left the meeting. Mr. Murray has no real reservations with that format but thinks any proposals would necessarily have to be based on the earlier objectives and points outlined by the committee. They are not precise but involved months of hassling to provide a starting point. Mr. Williams suggested staff study the issues and then ask the committee e members to review it. Mr. Murray moved seconded by Mr. Hamel to authorize staff to proceed with the preliminary work outlined and that those efforts be shared with the Planning Co~ssion and City Council members Corom who served on the community goals co~ttee, including an invitation 10/29/75 to M~ Niven, with subsequent recommendation to the City Council.
